Call for Papers:

This special issue of Frontiers will consider the long and variedhistory and experiences of intermarriage between American Indians andnon-Indians as a site of cultural contact and negotiation. Theindividual experiences of and community discussions about marriagesacross racial and ethnic lines often reveal the legal and economicregimes, cultural assumptions, gender and sexual identities, andcommunity boundaries of those societies. Using these intimaterelationships as our lens for social and political analysis, we willbroadly consider how intermarriage has shaped the sovereignty ofAmerican Indian Nations, the course of European and American empires,the growth of societies, and the lives of individual men and women.
